excitatory amino acids are the amino acids helps in transformation of neurotransmitters or it helps in transmission of synapsis rapidly in brain of mammal. EAA known to be neurotransmitters for Central nervous system.

Excitatory amino acids count may vary from 50’s to 100’s. They are mostly composed of non-protein- amino acids obtained from algae or fungi.

The possible EAAs are Glutamate (Glu) and Aspartate which act as excitatory neurotransmitters in the brain. They get released from neurons where they induce excitation via metabotropic Glu receptors.  

Both glutamate and aspartate having excitatory effect on neurotransmission whereas Gama-amino butyric acid having inhibitory effect on neurotransmission.

Thus, the statement ‘neurotransmitters are chemical brother of gaba’ is indicating the complementary effect of each other.

Nitrogen dioxide is a red-brown gas responsible for the brown color of smog. A container of nitrogen dioxide that is at low pres
____ [38]

Answer:

Initially 1.51\times 10^{-2} moles of nitrogen dioxide were in the container .

Explanation:

Volume of the container at low pressure and at room temperature =V_1=3.4 L

Number of moles in the container = n_1

After more addition of nitrogen gas at the same pressure and temperature.

Volume of the container after addition = V_2=5.11 L

Number of moles in the container after addition=n_2=2.28\times 10^{-2} mol

Applying Avogadro's law:

\frac{Volume}{Moles}=constant (at constant pressure and temperature)

\frac{V_1}{n_1}=\frac{V_2}{n_2}

n_1=\frac{V_1\times n_2}{V_2}=\frac{3.4 L\times 2.28\times 10^{-2} mol}{5.11 L}

n_1=1.51\times 10^{-2} mol

Initially 1.51\times 10^{-2} moles of nitrogen dioxide were in the container .

Why is cl2 a subcript​
vazorg [7]

Answer:

In Cl_2, the 2 is a subscript because it indicates there are 2 of the same elements. The Lewis structure would display it as Cl-Cl.

On the other hand, a superscript would indicate a specific charge.

All subscripts show the amount of the specific element there is.

An example would be O_2\\ or N_2, they both show that there are 2 of the same elements.

If the subscript is outside a parenthesis such as Ca_3(PO_4)_2 it indicates there are 2 PO_4 molecules.

In Part III, the phenolphthalein indicator is used to monitor the equilibrium shifts of the ammonia/ammonium ion system. The phe
AnnZ [28]

The pink color in the solution fades. Some of the colored indicator ion converts to the colorless indicator molecule.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

What's the initial color of the solution?

\text{NH}_4\text{Cl} is a salt soluble in water. \text{NH}_4\text{Cl} dissociates into ions completely when dissolved.

\text{NH}_4\text{Cl} \; (aq)\to {\text{NH}_4}^{+} \; (aq) +{\text{Cl}}^{-} \; (aq).

The first test tube used to contain \text{NH}_4\text{OH}. \text{NH}_4\text{OH} is a weak base that dissociates partially in water.

\text{NH}_4\text{OH} \; (aq) \rightleftharpoons {\text{NH}_4}^{+}  \;(aq)+ {\text{OH}}^{-} \; (aq).

There's also an equilibrium between \text{OH}^{-} and {\text{H}_3\text{O}}^{+} ions.

{\text{OH}}^{-}\;(aq) + {\text{H}_3\text{O}}^{+} \;(aq) \to 2\; \text{H}_2\text{O} \;(l).

\text{OH}^{-} ions from \text{NH}_4\text{OH} will shift the equilibrium between \text{OH}^{-} and {\text{H}_3\text{O}}^{+} to the right and reduce the amount of {\text{H}_3\text{O}}^{+} in the solution.

The indicator equilibrium will shift to the right to produce more {\text{H}_3\text{O}}^{+} ions along with the colored indicator ions. The solution will show a pink color.

What's the color of the solution after adding NH₄Cl?

Adding \text{NH}_4\text{Cl} will add to the concentration of {\text{NH}_4}^{+} ions in the solution. Some of the {\text{NH}_4}^{+} ions will combine with \text{OH}^{-} ions to produce \text{NH}_4\text{OH}.

The equilibrium between  \text{OH}^{-} and {\text{H}_3\text{O}}^{+} ions will shift to the left to produce more of both ions.

{\text{OH}}^{-}\;(aq) + {\text{H}_3\text{O}}^{+} \;(aq) \to 2\; \text{H}_2\text{O} \;(l)

The indicator equilibrium will shift to the left as the concentration of {\text{H}_3\text{O}}^{+} increases. There will be less colored ions and more colorless molecules in the test tube. The pink color will fade.
